Peter Ott - Store Of Life Lyrics

Don't ask me, if life's a simple thing
I'll tell you this, it dangles by a string

Oh baby
If you don't know what you want, from life
You'll find it here

At the store of life

I sit here, studying up on life
I'm waiting for, someone to arrive
And if I was a little bit younger
You know I'd realized
Life ain't all it seems to be
A word from the wise

The bell rings, an old woman walks in
She can't remember why she's there
Or where she should begin
She says

If I was a little bit younger
You know I'd find the time
I wouldn't be so lonely
Or at least I'd know why

And I said baby
If you don't know what you want, from life
You'll find it here

Lady, you can't keep going strong
You've gotta slowdown, slowdown
And take a look around
You've gotta slowdown, slowdown
And take a look around

At the store of life

Well I imagine, what it would be like
To start over with, clean slate, walls white
And if you were to choose a shelf
Throw cares to the wind
Pick the jar you like the best
A new path to begin

And I said baby
If you don't know what you want, from life
You'll find it here

Lady, you can't keep going strong
You've gotta slowdown, slowdown
And take a look around
You've gotta slowdown, slowdown
And take a look around

At the store of life

On the top shelf, right next to old guitars
There's a magic spell, I call the northern star
And if you where
To take a sip
And stare into the skies
You'd feel thirteen again
Feeling good and flyin' high

And I said baby
If you don't know what you want, from life
You'll find it here

Lady, you can't keep going strong
You've gotta slowdown, slowdown
And take a look around
You've gotta slowdown, slowdown
And take a look around

At the store of life
